Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have a dog lover since my earliest days.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
But here you got this pet psychic lady charges five
hundred and fifty bucks for a ninety minute session. She
has a waiting list of seventy six hundred people. Hey
numbers say five thousand through seventy six hundred. Your dog
is going to be dead by the time you get
an appointment, so maybe call somebody else anyway.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
They give a couple examples.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Of course, tech worker and part time dog trainer Maddie
couldn't figure out she's thirty three, couldn't figure out what
was going on with her English Springer Spaniel rudder, who's
being snippy with other dogs and facing a medical issue,
very mysterious.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Has there been any change in your household recently? Anybody
move in or move out? See, that's a good place
to start with your my mom passed away. That's exactly it, right, right.
That's a tough thing for a dog to go through.
So this woman talks with crap. The dog communicator could
(01:00):
be a psychic all day long. It's only my soul
that keeps me from doing it. Control your soul's desire
for morality, taking advantage of sad or dumb people is
not what I want to do with my life, but
it'd be easy to do well.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
This one doesn't. This the gal doesn't seem dumb.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
She might be sad, but so this pet psychic gal,
she refers to herself as a pet communicator, began talking
with the dog. She informed Maggie that Rudder was being
cautious with other dogs because he wasn't sure if he
could trust his front legs, and the event the dog
wasn't friendly. Several months later, Rudder's front legs started wobbling
and his eyes looked goofy. She remembered the conversation. Called
(01:41):
the vet requested a neuro consult. The vet wasn't phazed,
saying other clients had referenced to animal communicators before. Rudder
is now on seizure medication. Jack, you cynical, hateful man.
The pet communicator was right.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, the doting on the pet. This thing is absolutely
a substitute for not having kids. I mean it's just
clearly without a doubt.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
And to meet you with a little more, we're built
to nurture and raise things. And if you don't have kids,
you gotta take all that energy that was given to
us by nature or God or whoever, and put it
into something.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
You put it into a pet.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Pet psychics are making their way from the fringe to
socially acceptable. Those who tell others about their experiences with
animal communicators say they're more likely to be asked by
referrals than to be mocked. Asked for referrals than to
be mocked. Well, they didn't haven't run into jack yet.
Oh I love this sentence.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
People are idiots. Oh wow, wow.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
It is perhaps a natural progression in a world where
guinea pig spa services exist. Wait what, There has to
be a heavy tax on people who buy.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Spa services for their guinea pigs.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
So I take your guinea pig and I dip it
in a bowl of water and splash it around. Say there, oh,
give it a massage. That's one happy guinea pig right there.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh, that's so relaxing. That's girl right there. Ooh, you
clip its toenails.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
About half of us pet owners think of their pets
as much as part of the family as.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
A human member.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
According to Pew Research Center, even admitted inflation, spending on
pets continues to increase. The recent survey found sixty seven
percent of Americans say they have had a paranormal experience.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Well where's that coming from? Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Okay, so that's kind of a bridge back into the
pet psychic thing.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Okay, well, these stories absolutely fit together, the fact that
we're having having fewer kids and people not having kids,
the going way overboarding, the pets obviously pushing around in
strollers and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
This Dawn Allen, the pet communicator, been doing this for
twenty five years. She's forty eight years old, does thirty
phone sessions a week at a rate of eighty five
dollars for forty minutes. Way to take advantage of sad
and or dumb people. So she's making one hundred and
twenty five bucks an hour. Chris, She's been a cultural
shift that got way way normalized, she says.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Even if she's gonna be honest, she might say, and
this might be true. Look, they might be sad and
or dumb, but I make them feel better, so so
shut up.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
So I'm a nice person. Now give me something this part.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Christina, I'm not going to use last names because of
the mockery that Jack is coolly indulging in. But Christina,
a great Dane enthusiast, from San Francisco, has worked with
Alan the Communicator for clues to medical issues and for
guidance on what her dog Billy needed for her as
she took her last breaths cated from her having to.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Have a dang kid, meet a guy, I have a kid.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
She also uses Alan to converse with Fernie, Penelope, and
Tennessee all great danes ahead of big life changes such
as moving. And then you got people who uh talk
to their dead dogs through this woman. Okay, is my
cat happy? That's all I want to know? Is my
cat happy?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
That's seriously sad.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Nope, you can't. Got run over by a car in heaven?
Eighty five dollars please.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
How often does the psychic not tell the person that
didn't know the cat is very happy? How is it
that pretty miserable, pretty miserable, Your cat that you loved
so much now in heaven, miserable didn't go to heaven?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
What the hell? Bad cat? Eighty five dollars please.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Nikki, a former lawyer, started working as an animal communicator
four years ago. Early in her career, she made a
video about a session with a dog named Albie and
went viral. The dog told her he didn't like his nickname.
She She says he didn't specify what it was, only
that it made people think he was.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
